And I say that as I listen to Regina Spektor's Us.
Just so I can add a tinge of hypocrisy to this rant.
But love truly is annoying - in my opinion at the very least.
It surrounds us, it drowns us, it dominates our thoughts.
It's the reason boy bands from the 90s still get royalty cheques.
And if you're anything like me - happily single, that is, or single by choice - you can understand how irritating it can get when people rub it onto our faces against our will.
Aside from the obvious - long lost relatives asking why you don't have a boyfriend, your mother accusing every guy friend of being your latest squeeze, etc - there seems to be no escaping the damn topic!
If one of your friends/colleagues/siblings isn't gushing over someone they found attractive, it's about someone who just broke their heart. Either that, or someone you know is about to get hitched.
It gets worse if you work/listen to mainstream radio. If the song isn't about sex, drugs or murder (I'm talking about you, Foster the People!), it's about frickin' love love love! That's why Ne-Yo kept asking himself why he couldn't turn off the radio when he was heartbroken. (I'm even making mainstream references now. Wow.)
Full shelves of chick lit, sold out chick flicks.
And after the sappy confrontation, I can't help but wonder:
Am I actually missing out on something here?
